Dutchman's breeches (Dicentra cucullaria)

The common name comes from the faint resemblance of the flower to a pair of upturned breeches! Another native, early-blooming, spring flower of woodlands.

Pretty cute breeches I'd have to say, a lovely, pristine capture. V

They have seed pods that explode when you touch them don't they? At least the ones in Oregon do.

You find the most interesting flowers. This really does look like a pair of britches. Beautiful flower and capture. V.

BEAUTIFUL Christine. I've not met a Dutchman with breeches like this though. LOL
